I just deployed a new Raspberry Pi 4, and can’t seem to get audio coming out from AirPlay. It connects fine, but nothing comes out of the 3.5mm Jack.
After reading some threads, I deleted the “Define DT overlays” configuration and when I connected via Bluetooth, It played audio. But still no audio from AirPlay.
BalenaOS: 3.1.1
Balena Sound: 3.9.6

Ok I Fixed It. These are the steps I took from a brand new RPI4B.
- Deleted the variable in “Define DT overlays”
- set AUDIO_OUTPUT to “RPI_AUTO”
That seemed to work with setting it to “RPI_AUTO”. I’m getting airplay out of the 3.5mm jack now.
